Antofagasta Plc and Glencore Plc slipped at least 4.5 percent as commodity producers extended a rout.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index dropped 0.9 percent to 394.64 at the close of trading, reversing intraday gains of 0.5 percent. A report showed U.S. new-home sales unexpectedly fell in June. Data earlier showed a surprise weakening in Chinese manufacturing, while euro-area output missed projections.

"The news flow has been on the downside," said Ralf Zimmerman, a strategist at Bankhaus Lampe KG in Dusseldorf, Germany. "We had weak Chinese PMIs and declining PMIs in Europe, soft figures on the corporate front. We need more positive global news or else the downwards move in market will persist."
